Balus Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have been having a problem with VW 2009 where the program will not refresh (the drawing will go completely black or the lines and text become very irratic and disjointed)the only solution I had found is to zoom in and zoom out to get it to refresh the display. I have found that the problem has become more and more common and harder and harder to resolve to the point where today after using VW all day yesterday and a good part of today the drawing just flickers at me constantly and you are not able to use the program at all. I have tried shutting down VW and the computer itself and neither of these things seem to work. My files are not big as they are all 2D an I have done a check on my computer memory and CPU load and I am using almost nothing but VW is going nuts. I do not have any problems with any other programs, even graphic intensive ones. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do. Thanks very much for your help. Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Is 'Quartz Imaging' turned on in Preferences? Quote Link to comment
Balus Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yes I do, as well as anti-aliasing. I turned both of those off to see it that made any difference. Didn't do anything for the issue. Did turn my computer off all last night and turned it on again this morning, drawings appear to be OK now. Very weird. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Are you using FileVault with HFS Journaling ...? It will consume all the available VRAM forcing a restart to clean out the cache. Quote Link to comment
Balus Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 I am not sure what Vaultfile is but I don't think so. How would I know if I had that on? My drawing did fine for the first 1/2 hour this morning but has gone back to the drawing flickering again. Thanks Quote Link to comment
